PREFACE. 
 
 The Designs contained in this volume form the First Part of a 
 Series of Studies and Designs in Select Architecture. In the 
 Preface to the Second Part I have made some general observa- 
 tions upon the nature and character of buildings on a small scale 
 intended for comfortable and retired residences, and on the 
 stimulus which an anxious mind desirous of fame feels, when a 
 candidate for public applause. 
 
 The Plans in this volume are constructed on a small scale 
 of accommodations, yet the elevations present an ornamented 
 and picturesque appearance ; they are calculated for the perma- 
 nent residences of single gentlemen with a small establishment 
 of servants ; or for occasional occupation only, in the season of 
 
 B 
 
VI 
 
 hunting and shooting, when, accompanied by a friend or two, 
 the healthful sports of the field form the principal object for a 
 temporary retreat from the more elegant amusements of the 
 metropolis, or the more enlarged circle at the villa ; and the 
 accommodations are such as will, I flatter myself, be deemed 
 sufficient for such occasional rustication : — some of the plans are 
 sufficiently large for the permanent residence and required con- 
 veniences of a small family. 
 
 I conceive also that several of the Designs would form suit- 
 able residences for a bailifl', keeper, &c. to be built on pictu- 
 resque situations, which may be seen at a distance from the 
 mansion, affording a comfortable retreat for some respected and 
 faithful servant, at the same time adorning and giving interest 
 to the scenery of an extensive domain. 
 
 This First Part of my work contains those Designs for 
 Picturesque Cottages and Boxes which may be considered of a 
 minor character, while the Second Part embraces those Elegant 
 Cottages and Villas which are of greater magnitude, accommo- 
 
Vll 
 
 dation, and expense. The two Parts united, form a Series of 
 Select Architectural Designs, useful to all Gentlemen, who wish 
 information on so important a subject as a snug dwelling, 
 combining taste and convenience with economy. 
 
EXPLANATION, 
 
 PLATE I. 
 
 Plan and View, designed for an ornamental and useful building, 
 calculated to be erected on an eminence where the prospect is 
 particularly interesting or extensive ; providing at the same time 
 a convenient dwelling for a gardener or bailitf. On the ground 
 floor is a Uving room, and between that and the prospect room, 
 which is eighteen feet square, are two bed rooms. 
 
 The expense of this erection done in brick-work and stuc- 
 coed, the interior finished in a plain style, will amount to 
 ^400. 
 
 N. B. The whole of these calculations are exclusive of 
 carriage of materials. 
 
 c 
 
lO 
 
 PLATE II. 
 
 Plan and View of a building intended for purposes similar 
 to the foregoing, but designed more particularly with a view to 
 economy. It might be effected for the sum of 3B2S0. 
 
 PLATE III. 
 
 Plax and View of a Greenhouse on a moderate scale, with 
 accommodations for a gardener attached. The advantages of 
 such an arrangement are so obvious as to preclude the necessity 
 of commenting on them. The estimate for this is ,^240. 
 
II 
 
 PLATE IV. 
 
 Plan and View of a design intended to accommodate only 
 a Gentleman and his Friend in the season of shooting, and to be 
 erected in a part of the country, probably remote from a prin- 
 cipal town. The expense of this box will be about ^lOo. 
 
 It contains kitchen, eating room, and parlour, on the ground 
 floor. The parlour occasionally to be converted into a bed room, 
 will, with those over the centre part, make four bed rooms. 
 
 PLATE V. 
 
 Plan and View of a Sporting Box, containing parlour, 
 kitchen, and two bed rooms on the same floor, and designed 
 under the same impression as the last. The estimate is ^230. 
 
1% 
 
 PLATE VI. 
 
 Plan and View, designed for similar purposes, having the 
 sitting room in the centre. 
 
 The estimate for this is ,^205. 
 
 PLATE VIL 
 
 Plan and View designed also for the same purposes as the 
 three preceding plans ; but from the singularity of its figure 
 may be considered to possess more originality, and from its size 
 more accommodations; having on the ground floor a dining 
 room, kitchen, and vestibule, and above, three good bed rooms. 
 The estimate for this building I make .^550. 
 
 PI- ATE VIIL 
 
 Plan and View of a Hunting or Shooting Box ; having a 
 kitchen, parlour, and two bed rooms on the ground floor, and 
 two bed rooms over. 
 
 The estimate for the building is ^^430. 
 
13 
 
 PLATE IX. 
 
 Plan and View of a Hunting Box in the castle style, calcu- 
 lated to be built on the summit ot' a steep ascent. In this 
 arrangement I have annexed the stables to the dwelling, 
 although well aware that to a constant residence this would be 
 objectionable, but for a temporary residence only, may be per- 
 mitted. The ground floor contains dining room and kitchen ; 
 above are five bed rooms, and over the stables sleeping rooms for 
 grooms, &c. The expense of this building I estimate at sB7^0- 
 
 PLATE X. 
 
 Plan and View of a Hunting or Shooting Box in the Chinese 
 character ; comprising a spacious dining room and kitchen, with 
 four bed rooms, all on the same floor. The whole executed in 
 this style would amount to .^480. 
 
14 
 
 PLATE XL 
 
 Sporting Villa in the cliaracter of a farm building. This 
 has more extensive accommodations than either of the preceding 
 plans, having a dining room, kitchen, two parlours, and a hall 
 on the ground floor, and on the bed room floor five sleeping 
 rooms. The expense of this building I estimate at .^gOo. 
 
 PLATE XIL 
 
 Design for a Shooting Box in the castle style ; comprising 
 kitchen, dining room, drawing room, and library, of ample 
 magnitude, on the ground floor, and four sleeping rooms above. 
 To erect this building would require the sum of aSlooo. 
 
 PLATE XIIL 
 
 A SIMILAR subject, comprising kitchen and parlour, with 
 four sleeping rooms on the same floor. The expense will be 
 ^480. 
 
15 
 
 PLATE XIV. 
 
 Hunting Box ; comprising two bow rooms, kitchen, and 
 vestibule, stairs and water closet on the ground floor, and three 
 bed rooms above in the centre part. The expense of this design 
 is estimated at <^0oo. 
 
 PLATE XV. 
 
 Park Entrance and Lodges. 
 
 PLATE XVL 
 
 Another in the Doric character. 
 
 PLATE XVIL 
 
 The same subject with one Lodge, intended as an entrance 
 to two paddocks. 
 
i6 
 
 PLATE XVIII. 
 
 Plan and View of an Iron Bridge of forty feet span, with 
 a Chinese temple on the centre. 
 
 PLATE XIX. 
 
 Plan and View of an Iron Bridge fifty feet span, with 
 temples of a fancy character at the extremities. 
 
 PLATE XX. 
 
 Plan and View of a decorative Temple for park or grounds 
 in the Chinese style.
